Top 20 Best London city attractions in Carshalton

“Fascinating slice of history, you can explore the suite of entertaining rooms, including the orangery, saloon, pump room and plunge bath. The garden space surrounding the building features an impressive hermitage grotto and "sham bridge", either end of what was originally a boating pond at the Western springhead of the River Wandle. The Water Tower is a unique Grade II listed early 18th century garden building sited in the grounds of Carshalton House in South London, built when the area was in the Surrey countryside, full of large houses owned by wealthy families. "As the name suggests, this contained a water-powered pump, which supplied water to Carshalton House and the fountains in its garden. However, the building was and is much more than this as it contains a suite of rooms such as the Saloon, the Orangery and a splendid early 18th century bathroom with a tile lined plunge bath. Aside from the Water Tower, there is the surrounding garden including the Hermitage and Folly Bridge. ​ All this is managed voluntarily by the Friends of Water Tower & The Historic Garden Trust."”

“This was a perfect venue for my 75th birthday celebration. From the original booking to the final clearing up the service afforded us was exceptional. Any time I phoned or visited to ask questions there was always a friendly approach and a willingness to help. On the night the bar staff were always smiling and made us feel welcome and were very efficient in clearing up afterwards. They really worked hard for us. Thank you for helping to make it a special occasion”

“Definitely the best cafe experience I’ve had so far in Carshalton a must visit if you’re in the area. The staff were friendly, polite and attentive providing very quick service having my order ready in no time! Overlooking a small pond the view is picturesque creating a delightful atmosphere with friendly ducks swimming by that you can feed making for a lovely afternoon out for families. Their ice creams and iced coffee are absolutely delicious and the perfect refreshers for a hot summer day as well as a selection of other tasty snacks including toasted paninis and a variety of cakes to choose from. Very reasonably priced too. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 100% recommend and will definitely be coming again.”

“Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Greyhound Pub. The staff was super friendly, ordering via their app in January gives you a £10 off the bill, which is a bonus. Had the vegetarian burger and it was delicious, we cleaned the plate! Chips were cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend it and it’s dog friendly too, so if you have a furry friend, you can take him/her with you.”

“My second time visiting this shop as my friend lives nearby and highly recommended coming.... and I definitely agree! The shop assistant, who I assumed is the owner, was incredibly knowledgable about his stock and about spirits in general and I felt welcomed but not pressured to buy anything. I had free samples very generously given, and it was the closest experience to being in a bar I’ve had in months! They have an amazing selection of drinks and some very high quality spirits. I went in for gin and being an avid gin lover I was quite surprised at just how varied and enticing their selection was. I would highly recommend visiting this shop!”

“Excellent for moderately small parties or celebrations. Reasonably sized kitchen area, clean environment and top marks for parking facilities. Overall great venue. Didn't know this place existed until I received a party invite.”

“Met up with some friends (with kids) for a Saturday Xmas season lunch. We pre-ordered the food, which was all on a good level. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Drinks orders arrived promptly and they have a good selection of beers and whiskeys. Would come again anytime!”

“My go to place for shopping! I am very forgetful and always forget to buy many items. This place is excellent because it’s so handy and convenient, especially when I quickly need to buy alcohol for a party. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, they always go the extra mile to help the customers out with a smile. Would highly recommend :)”
